Just to clear up on this front regarding how the i.MX boots: there is
an internal boot ROM built into the mask of the SoC which contains
some rudimentary boot code. It can perform the following tasks:
1) boot from any SPI-based ROM
this actually includes any memory-based SD card as they are ju
The U-Boot on gitorious is more of a nostalgia piece, we actually
abandoned the repo a long time ago.
I am recommending this, and hoping Linaro stick to it: Linaro, Ubuntu,
Debian or any concerned distribution has absolutely NO business
building or flashing U-Boot for the boards.

Per, upstream u-boot got support in git for efikamx so
Hi Matt,
I made a new attempt bringing up my imx today, this time I reconnected
the keyboard and then I could recover u-boot without any trouble. I
disconnected the keyboard when changing the DIP switches.

This would be awesome!
Speaking for other Linaro needs, it would be nice if we could reproduce
this build ourselves as to allow us to create special purpose u-boots.
Okay we can make an SD card that will force a U-Boot update and power
down easily..

Per,
The file you need is in the first partition of the SD card you
downloaded - I believe I made an 8MB space at the front of the updater

Hi,
If I mess up the u-boot in my efikamx smart book how can I install a new one?
I tried booting with an SD-card image from
http://www.powerdeveloper.org/asset/by-id/116. I guess this only works
if I have a working u-boot in place.
I don't have the serial/JTAG connector. Is this what I need in o
